DESCRIPTION

1. Technical Field

The invention relates to kinase modulators of the pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazine type and to the preparation and use thereof as medicaments for the modulation of misdirected cellular signal transduction processes, in particular for influencing the function of tyrosine kinases, serine/threonine kinases and lipid kinases and for the treatment of malignant or benign oncoses and other disorders based on pathological cell proliferation, for example restenosis, psoriasis, arteriosclerosis and cirrhosis of the liver.

2. State of the Art

The activation of protein kinases is a central event in cellular signal transduction processes. Aberrant kinase activation is observed in various pathological states. Targeted inhibition of kinases is therefore a fundamental therapeutic aim.

The phosphorylation of proteins is generally initiated by extracellular signals and represents a universal mechanism for controlling various cellular events, for example metabolic processes, cell growth, cell migration, cell differentiation, membrane trans-port and apoptosis. The kinase protein family is responsible for protein phosphorylation. These enzymes catalyse transfer of phosphate to specific substrate proteins. Based on the substrate specificity, the kinases are divided into three main classes, the tyrosine kinases, the serine/threonine kinases and the lipid kinases. Both the receptor tyrosine kinases and the cytoplasmic tyrosine, serine/threonine and lipid kinases are important proteins in cellular signal transduction. Overexpression or degradation of these proteins plays an important part in disorders based on pathological cell proliferations. These include metabolic disorders, disorders of the connective tissue and of the blood vessels, and malignant and benign oncoses. In tumour initiation and development they frequently occur as oncogens, i.e. as aberrant, constitutively active kinase proteins. The consequences of this excessive kinase activation are, for example, uncontrolled cell growth and reduced cell death. Stimulation of tumour-induced growth factors may also be the cause of overstimulation of kinases. The development of kinase modulators is therefore of particular interest for all pathogenic processes influenced by kinases.

The ras-Raf-Mek-Erk and PI3K-Akt signal transduction cascades play a central role in cell growth, cell proliferation, apoptosis, adhesion, migration and glucose metabolism. Thus, the fundamental involvement in the pathogenesis of disorders such as cancer, neurodegeneration and inflammatory disorders has been demonstrated both for the ras-Raf-Mek-Erk and for the PI3K-Akt signal pathway. Therefore, the individual components of these signal cascades constitute important therapeutic points of attack for the intervention in the various disease processes (Weinstein-Oppenheimer C. R. et al 2000, Chang F. et al 2003, Katso R. et al 2001 and Lu Y. et al 2003).

The molecular and biochemical properties of the two signal pathways will first be described separately below.

A multitude of growth factors, cytokines and oncogens transduce their growthpromoting signals via the activation of G-protein-coupled ras, which leads to the activation of the serine-threonine kinase Raf and to the activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 1 and 2 (MAPKK1/2 or Mek1/2), and results in the phosphorylation and activation of MAPK 1 and 2—also known as extracellular signal-regulated kinase (Erk1 and 2). Compared to other single pathways, the ras-Raf-Mek-Erk signal pathway combines a large number of proto-oncogens, including ligands, tyrosine kinase receptors, G proteins, kinases and nuclear transcription factors. Tyrosine-kinases, for example EGFR (Mendelsohn J. et al., 2000) mediate, in the course of the tumour process, caused by overexpression and mutation, frequently constitutively active signals to the downstream ras-Raf-Mek-Erk signal pathway. Ras mutations have mutated in 30% of all human tumours (Khleif S. N. et al., 1999, Marshall C., 1999), the highest incidence at 90% being in pancreas carcinomas (Friess H. et al., 1996, Sirivatanauksorn V. et al., 1998). For c-Raf, deregulated expression and/or activation have been described in various tumours (Hoshino R. et al., 1999, McPhillips F. et al., 2001). B-Raf point mutants have been detected in 66% of all human malignant melanomas, 14% of ovarian carcinomas and 12% of colon carcinomas (Davies H. et al., 2002). It is therefore not surprising that Erk1/2 is involved at primary stage in many cellular processes, such as cell growth, cell proliferation and cell differentiation (Lewis T. S. et al., 1998, Chang F. et al., 2003).

In addition, the members of Raf kinases also have Mek-Erk-independent, anti-apoptotic functions whose molecular steps have not yet been described fully. Possible interaction partners described for the Mek-Erk-independent Raf activity have been Ask1, BcI-2, Akt and Bag1 (Chen J et al., 2001, Troppmaier J. et al., 2003, Rapp U. R. et al., 2004, Gotz R. et al., 2005). It is now assumed that both Mek-Erk-dependent and Mek-Erk-independent signal transduction mechanisms control the activation of the upstream ras and Raf stimuli.

The isoenzymes of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases (PI3Ks) function primarily as lipid kinases and catalyse the D3 phosphorylation of the second messenger lipids Ptdlns (phosphatidylinositol) to PtdIns(3)P, PtdIns(3,4)P₂, PtdIns(3,4,5)P₃ phosphatidylinositol phosphates. The PI3Ks of class I are composed in structural terms of the catalytic subunit (p110alpha, beta, gamma, delta) and of the regulatory subunit (p85alpha, beta or p101gamma). In addition, the class II (PI3K-C2alpha, PI3K-C2beta) and class III (Vps34p) enzymes belong to the family of the PI3 kinases (Wymann M. P. et al., 1998, VanHaesebroeck B. et al., 2001). The PIP rise induced by the PI3Ks firstly activates the proliferative ras-Raf-Mek-Erk signal pathway via the coupling of ras (Rodriguez-Viciana P. et al., 1994) and secondly stimulates the anti-apoptotic signal pathway by recruiting Akt to the cell membrane and consequently overactivating this kinase (Alessi D. R. et al., 1996, Chang H. W. et al., 1997, Moore S. M. et al., 1998). Thus, the activation of the PI3Ks fulfils at least 2 crucial mechanisms of tumour development, specifically the activation of cell growth and cell differentiation, and the inhibition of apoptosis. In addition, the PI3Ks also have protein-phosphorylating properties (Dhand et al., 1994, Bondeva T. et al., 1998, Bondev A. et al., 1999, VanHaesebroeck B. et al., 1999), which, for example, can induce serine autophosphorylation which intrinsically regulates the PI3Ks. It is also known that PI3Ks have kinase-independent, regulating effector properties, for example in the control of heart contraction (Crackower M. A. et al., 2002, Patrucco et al., 2004). It has also been demonstrated that PI3 Kdelta and PI3 Kgamma are expressed specifically on haematopoietic cells and are thus potential points of attack for isoenzyme-specific PI3 Kdelta and PI3 Kgamma inhibitors in the treatment of inflammatory disorders such as rheumatism, asthmas and allergies and in the treatment of B and T cell lymphomas (Okkenhaug K. et al., 2003, Ali K. et al., 2004, Sujobert P. et al., 2005). PI3Kalpha, which has recently been identified as a protooncogen (Shayesteh L. et al., 1999, Ma Y. Y. et al., 2000, Samuels Y. et al., 2004, Campbell I. G. et al., 2004, Levine D. A., 2005) is an important target in the therapy of tumour disorders. The significance of the PI3K species as a target for active ingredient development is therefore extremely wide (Chang F. & Lee J. T. et al, 2003).

Of equally great interest are the PI3K-related kinases (PIKKs), which include the serine/threonine kinases mTOR, ATM, ATR, h-SMG-1 and DNA-PK (Chiang G. G. et al 2004). Their catalytic domains have a high sequence homology to the catalytic domains of the PI3Ks.

Moreover, the loss of the tumour suppressor protein PTEN (Li J. et al., 1997, Steck P. A. et al., 1997)—whose function is the reversal of the phosphorylation initiated by PI3K—contributes to overactivation of Akt and its downstream cascade components and hence underlines the causal significance of PI3K as a target molecule for tumour therapy.

Various inhibitors of individual components of the ras-Raf-Mek-Erk and PI3K-Akt signal pathways have already been published and patented.

The current state of development in the field of the kinase-inhibitors, particularly of the ras-Raf-Mek-Erk and of the PI3K-Akt pathway, is detailed in the reviews by J. S. SeboltLeopold et al., 2004, and R. Wetzker et al., 2004. Said publications contain a comprehensive list of the published patents which describe the synthesis and use of low molecular weight ras-Raf-Mek-Erk and PI3K inhibitors.

The kinase inhibitor Bay 43-9006 (WO 99/32111, WO 03/068223) already in clinical trials exhibits a relatively unspecific inhibition pattern of serine/threonine kinases and of tyrosine kinases such as Raf, VEGFR2/3, Flt-3, PDGFR, c-Kit and further kinases. Great significance is attributed to this inhibitor in advanced tumour disorders induced by angiogenesis (for example in the case of kidney cell carcinoma) but also in the case of melanomas with high B-Raf mutation rate. The clinical action of Bay 43-9006 is currently also being determined in patients having refractory solid tumours in combination, for example, with docetaxel. To date, mild side effects and promising anti-tumour effects have been described. Inhibition of the kinases in the PI3K-Akt signal pathway has neither been described nor disclosed for Bay 43-9006.

The Mek1/2 inhibitor PD0325901 (WO 02/06213) is currently in phase I clinical trials. The precursor substance CI-1040 (WO 00/35435, WO 00/37141) was noticeable by its high Mek specificity and target affinity. However, this compound was found to be metabolically unstable in phase I/II studies. Clinical data for the current successor substance PD0325901 are still to come. However, neither interaction with Erk1 or Erk2 nor a function inhibiting the PI3K-Akt signal pathway or their simultaneous modulation has been published or disclosed for this Mek inhibitor.

The PI3K inhibitors published to date are still in preclinical trials. ICOS disclosed a PI3K inhibitor IC87114 with high PI3 Kdelta isoenzyme specificity (WO 01/81346). For PI103 (WO 04/017950), Yamanouchi/Piramed describe a selectivity versus the PI3Kalpha isoform. Moreover, a highly noted field of research exists in the early development of PI3K inhibitors (see review of R. Wetzker et al., 2004).

Inhibitors of the SAPK signal pathway, either of Jnk or of p38, are described in the literature (Gum R. J., 1998, Bennett B. L. et al 2001, Davies S. P. et al 2000). However, no function of inhibiting the PI3Ks nor any specific inhibition of Erk1 or Erk2 or else any specific inhibition of SAPKs, Erk1, Erk2, or PI3Ks has been disclosed for these SAPK inhibitors.

6- or 7-substituted pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazine derivatives find wide use in pharmaceutical chemistry as pharmacologically active compounds and as synthetic units.

For example, the patents WO 04/104002 and WO 04/104003 describe pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazines which may be 6- or 7-substituted by urea, thiourea, amidine or guanidine groups. These compounds have properties as inhibitors or modulators of kinases, especially of tyrosine and serine/threonine kinases, and a use as a medicament is reported. In contrast, a use of these compounds as modulators of lipid kinases, alone or in combination with tyrosine and serine/threonine kinases, has not been described.

Moreover, the patent WO 99/17759 describes pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazines which bear, in the 6-position, inter alia, alkyl-, aryl- and heteroaryl-substituted carbamates. These compounds are intended for use to modulate the function of serine-threonine protein kinases.

The patent WO 05/007099 (Kawakami et al.) describes, inter alia, urea-substituted pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazines as inhibitors of the serine/threonine kinase PKB. However, this patent does not further define the R radical, which should describe the range of substitution on the urea, and the range of substitution on the urea is thus not clearly disclosed. For these compounds, use in the treatment of cancer disorders is reported. However, no specific examples of urea-substituted pyridopyrazines having these biological properties are given. In addition, the pyridopyrazines described here differ structurally significantly from the inventive pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazines described in this invention.

Further examples of 6- and 7-urea-substituted pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazines are reported in the patent WO 05/056547 (Bemis et al.). However, the compounds in this patent have additional carbonyl, sulphoxy, sulphone or imine substitution in the 2- or 3-position, which means that the compounds differ structurally significantly from the inventive pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazines described in this invention. The pyridopyrazines reported in WO 05/056547 are described as inhibitors of protein kinases, especially of GSK-3, Syk and JAK-3. For these compounds, the uses reported include use in the treatment of proliferative disorders. Use of these compounds as modulators of lipid kinases, alone or in combination with serine/threonine kinases, is not described.

The patent WO 04/005472 by White et al. describes, inter alia, 6-carbamate-substituted pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazines which, as antibacterial substances, inhibit the growth of bacteria. Antitumour action is not described.

Certain diphenylquinoxalines and -pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazines with specific alkylpyrrolidine, alkylpiperidine or alkylsulphonamide radicals on a phenyl ring, which may additionally also bear urea or carbamate substitutions in the 6- or 7-position, are described in the patents WO 03/084473 (Barnett et al.), WO 03/086394 (Bilodeau et al.) and WO 03/086403 (Lindsley et al.) as inhibitors of the activity of the serine/threonine kinase Akt. For these compounds, use in the treatment of cancer disorders is reported. For the pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazine example compounds described there, no defined indication of biological action is specified. Moreover, there is a significant structural difference from the inventive pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazines described in this invention.

Moreover, the patent WO 03/024448 by Delorme et al. describes amide- and acrylamide-substituted pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazines which also contain carbamates as additional substitutents and can be used as histone deacetylase inhibitors for the treatment of cell proliferation disorders.

A further publication (C. Temple, Jr.; J. Med. Chem. 1990, 3044-3050) uses an example to describe the synthesis of a 6-ethyl carbamate-substituted pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazine derivative. Antitumour action is neither disclosed nor rendered obvious.

The synthesis of further derivatives of the 6-ethyl carbamate-substituted pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazine is described in a publication by R. D. Elliott (J. Org. Chem. 1968, 2393-2397). Biological action of these compounds is neither described nor rendered obvious.

The publication by C. Temple, Jr. J. Med. Chem. 1968, 1216-1218 describes the synthesis and examination of 6-ethyl carbamate-substituted pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazines as potential active antimalarial ingredients. Antitumour action is neither disclosed nor rendered obvious.

Statement of the Invention

The invention is therefore directed to the provision of novel compounds which are suitable as modulators of receptor tyrosine kinases, of cytoplasmic tyrosine kinases, serine/threonine kinases and lipid kinases. Since not all kinases which are present in series in misregulated signal transduction cascades—for example in the case of Raf-Mek-Erk or PI3K-Akt-, need be present as oncogenic kinases or as constitutively active enzymes, this invention also considers the inactive kinases as therapeutic target proteins, i.e. the novel compounds can bind both to active and to inactive kinases and hence influence signal transduction.

The invention is also directed to the provision of novel compounds which, as modulators of receptor tyrosine kinases, cytoplasmic tyrosine kinases, serine/threonine kinases and lipid kinases, have the property of influencing either an individual kinase or two or more kinases, especially Erk1/2 and PI3K, from one signal transduction cascade or different signal transduction cascades, especially ras-Raf-Mek-Erk and PI3K-Akt. A dual mechanism, i.e. the simultaneous inhibition of two or more signal transduction cascades compared to the therapeutic attack on only one signal transduction pathway, should, by virtue of the additive effect, lead to an increase in the effect in the treatment of all pathogenic processes which are influenced by kinases.

It has now been found that, surprisingly, novel compounds from the group of the pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazines which are 6- or 7-substituted, for example by urea or thiourea moieties, are suitable for producing medicaments for modulating misdirected cellular signal transduction processes, especially for influencing the function of receptor tyrosine kinases, cytoplasmic tyrosine kinases, serine/threonine kinases and lipid kinases, and for treating malignant or benign tumour disorders, for example of the breast, prostate, lung, skin, ovaries, and other disorders based on pathological cell proliferations.

Polysubstituted radicals are understood to mean those which are polysubstituted, for example di- or trisubstituted, either at different atoms or at the same atom, for ex-ample trisubstituted on the same carbon atom as in the case of CF₃, —CH₂CF₃ or at different positions as in the case of —CH(OH)—CH═CH—CHCl₂. The polysubstitution can be effected with the same substituent or different substituents.

When the inventive compounds have at least one centre of asymmetry, they may be present in the form of their racemates, in the form of the pure enantiomers and/or diastereomers, or in the form of mixtures of these enantiomers and/or diastereomers, and either in substance or as pharmaceutically acceptable salts of these compounds. The mixtures may be present in any desired mixing ratio of the stereoisomers.

For example, the inventive compounds which have one or more centres of chirality and which occur as racemates can be separated by methods known per se into their optical isomers, i.e. enantiomers or diastereomers. The separation can be effected by column separation on chiral phases or by recrystallization from an optically active sol-vent or using an optically active acid or base or by derivatization with an optically active reagent, for example an optically active alcohol, and subsequent detachment of the radical.

The inventive compounds may be present in the form of their double bond isomers as “pure” E or Z isomers, or in the form of mixtures of these double bond isomers.

Where possible, the inventive compounds may be present in the form of the tautomers.

The inventive compounds may, if they have a sufficiently basic group, for example a primary, secondary or tertiary amine, be converted to their physiologically tolerated salts with inorganic and organic acids.

Examples of useful inorganic bases include sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide; examples of useful organic bases include ethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, cyclohexyl-amine, dibenzylethylenediamine and lysine. The stoichiometry of the salts of the inventive compounds formed may be whole or fractional multiples of one.

It is possible for one, two, three or as many as possible solvate or water molecules to bond with the inventive compounds to form solvates and hydrates.

It is known that chemical substances form solids which are present in various states of order, which are referred to as polymorphic forms or modifications. The physical properties of the different modifications of a polymorphic substance can differ greatly.

General Methods for the Preparation of the Inventive Compounds:

Scheme 1: 1st Stage

2,6-Diamino-3-nitropyridine or 2-amino-3,5-dinitropyridine are dissolved in a suit-able inert solvent, for example methanol, ethanol, dimethylformamide or dioxane. After adding a catalyst, for example Raney nickel, palladium on carbon or platinum(IV) dioxide, the reaction mixture is placed under a hydrogen atmosphere, and a pressure between 1 and 5 bar is established. The reaction mixture is allowed to react for several hours, for example 1-16 hours, within a temperature range between 20° C. and 60° C. Once the reaction has ended, the insoluble residues are filtered off, for which the filter medium may consist of silica gel, Celite or commercial glass fibre filters, and they are washed with the appropriate solvent. The crude product, present in solution, is used for the next reaction without further purification.

2nd Stage

The 1,2-dione derivative is initially charged in a suitable inert solvent, for example methanol, ethanol, dioxane, toluene or dimethylformamide. 2,3,6-Triaminopyridine or 2,3,5-triaminopyridine, directly after the reduction, as a solution of the crude products in one of the abovementioned solvents, are added to the initially charged 1,2-dione, optionally with addition of an acid, for example acetic acid or a base, for example potassium hydroxide. The reaction mixture is allowed to react within a temperature range of 20° C. to 80° C. for a certain time, for example 20 minutes to 40 hours. Once the reaction has ended, any precipitated solid is filtered off, for which the filter medium may consist, for example, of commercial filter paper, and washed with the appropriate solvent, and the remaining solid is dried under reduced pressure, or the reaction mixture is freed of solvent under reduced pressure. When dimethylformamide is used, the reaction mixture is stirred into a large amount of water and the precipitated solid is filtered off, or the aqueous phase is extracted with a suitable organic solvent, for example dichloro-methane or ethyl acetate, and the organic phases are concentrated under reduced pressure. The remaining crude product is purified by recrystallization from a suitable solvent, for example dioxane, or by column or flash chromatography on silica gel or alumina. The eluent used is, for example, a mixture of methanol and dichloromethane.

Scheme 2: 1st Stage

The pyridopyrazinone derivative 8 is initially charged in a suitable inert solvent, for example dimethylformamide, dioxane or toluene, or without solvent.

Once the reaction has ended, the reaction mixture is poured onto water and neutralized with a suitable aqueous base, for example sodium hydroxide solution. Any precipitated solid is filtered off, for which the filter medium may consist, for example, of commercial filter paper, and washed with the appropriate solvent, and the remaining residue is dried under reduced pressure, or the aqueous phase is extracted with a suitable organic solvent, for example dichloromethane or ethyl acetate, and the organic phases are concentrated under reduced pressure.

After the reaction has ended, any precipitated solid is filtered off, for which the filter medium may consist, for example, of commercial filter paper, and washed with the appropriate solvent, and the remaining solid is dried under reduced pressure, or the reaction mixture is freed from the solvent under reduced pressure. Alternatively, the reaction mixture can be stirred into a large amount of water and the precipitated solid can be filtered off, or the aqueous phase, after neutralization with a suitable aqueous base, for example sodium hydroxide solution, can be extracted with a suitable organic solvent, for example dichloromethane or ethyl acetate, and the organic phase concentrated under reduced pressure.

Under some of the reaction conditions specified, OH, SH and NH₂ groups may possibly enter into undesired side reactions. It is therefore preferred to provide them with protecting groups or, in the case of NH₂, to replace it with NO₂, and then to eliminate the protecting group or to reduce the NO₂ group. For instance, in a modification of the above-described processes, at least one OH group in the starting compounds can be replaced, for example, by a benzyloxy group, and/or at least one SH group can be replaced, for example, by an S-benzyl group and/or at least one NH₂ group can be replaced, for example, by an NH-benzyl group or by an NO₂ group. Subsequently, at least one—preferably all—benzyloxy group(s) or NH-benzyl group(s) can be eliminated, for example, with hydrogen and palladium on carbon, and/or at least one—preferably all—S-benzyl group(s) can be eliminated, for example, with sodium in ammonia, and/or at least one—preferably all —NO₂ group(s) can be reduced, for example, with hydrogen and Raney nickel to NH₂.

Under some of the reaction conditions mentioned, OH, NH₂ and COOH groups may possibly enter into undesired side reactions. It is therefore preferred to convert starting compounds and intermediates which contain at least one OH group and/or at least one NH₂ group and/or at least one COOH group to corresponding carboxylic ester and carboxamide derivatives. In a modification of the above-described processes, starting compounds and intermediates which have at least one OH group and/or which have at least one NH₂ group can be converted to carboxylic ester or carboxamide derivatives by reaction with an activated carboxylic acid group, for example a carbonyl chloride group. In a modification of the above-described processes, starting compounds and intermediates which contain at least one COON can be converted to carboxylic ester or carboxamide derivatives by reaction with an activating agent, for example thionyl chloride or carbonyldiimidazole, and subsequent reaction with a suitable alcohol or amine. Subsequently, at least one—preferably all—carboxylic ester or carboxamide group(s) in the starting compounds and intermediates can be detached, for example, with dilute aqueous acids or bases, in order to release one —preferably all —OH group(s) and/or NH₂ group(s) and/or COOH group(s).

0.50 g of 4-(6-aminopyrido[2,3-b]pyrazin-3-yl)phenol (2.10 mmol) were initially charged in 5.0 ml of pyridine. 183 μl of ethyl isocyanate (2.31 mmol) were added dropwise at room temperature and the mixture was heated to 70-80° C. for 2 h. Thereafter, another 183 μl of ethyl isocyanate were added and the mixture was heated to 70-80° C. for a further 2 h. Once the reaction had ended, the reaction mixture was added to ice-water and neutralized with 1N hydrochloric acid. The precipitated product was filtered off with suction and dried. The product which had been filtered was partly dissolved in ethanol and admixed with 52 mg of potassium hydroxide (0.93 mmol), dissolved in water. The mixture was heated to 40° C. for approx. 1 h. Thereafter, the reaction solution was neutralized with 1 N hydrochloric acid and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The resulting solid was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (di-chloromethane/methanol eluent). This gave a yellow solid.

II) Biological Effects of the Inventive Compounds

II.1) Cell-Free Kinase Assays (by means of ALPHA Technology)

The inhibitory effect of the inventive compounds was tested on various human serine/threonine kinases, tyrosine kinases and lipid kinases in enzymatic assays. Recombinant human kinases, for example Erk2, PI3Kalpha, -beta, -gamma, -delta, p38alpha, p38gamma, Jnk1, Jnk2 and others were used, in some cases as full-length kinases, in some cases as truncated fragments—but at least consisting of the functional kinase domains. The commercial kinase proteins (Proqinase, Upstate) were used as recombinant fusion proteins with GST (glutathione S-transferase) tag or His tag. Depending on the substrate type, the different kinase reactions were quantified by means of suitable ALPHA™ beads (PerkinElmer).

Testing

The substrate testing on the Erk assay is described in detail below. Selected test results of the Erk2, PI3Kalpha assays are cited below. To determine the IC₅₀ value, the potential inhibitor substances were investigated at 10 half-logarithmically graduated concentrations of 3.16 nM-100 μM.

-   a) Erk2-ALPHA: The test substance, 0.625 ng of Erk2 (#14-173,     Upstate), 10 μM ATP and 15 nM biotinylated MBP (myelin basic     protein) substrate were incubated on a 384-well Optiplate (Perkin     Elmer) in a volume of 15 μl for 1 h in 25 mM Tris, 10 mM MgCl₂, 0.1%     Tween-20, 100 μM NaVO₄, 2 mM DTT at pH 7.5. The kinase reaction was     then stopped by adding 10 μl of the ALPHA bead mix (10 μg/ml,     #6760617/PerkinElmer), pre-incubated with anti-phospho MBP antibody     (320 μM, #05-429/Upstate), in 25 mM Tris, 200 mM NaCl, 100 mM EDTA     and 0.3% BSA, and left to stand overnight. -   b) PI3K-ALPHAs (e.g. PI3Kalpha): The test substance, 1 ng of     PI3Kalpha (#14-602, Upstate), 100 μM ATP and 20 μM PIP₂ substrate     (#P4508, Echelon) on a 384-well Optiplate (Perkin Elmer) for 1 h in     50 mM Hepes, 50 mM NaCl, 5 mM MgCl₂, 0.05% Chaps, 5 mM DTT at pH     7.4. Subsequently, the kinase reaction was stopped by adding the     ALPHA bead mix (10 μg/ml, #6760603/PerkinElmer), preincubated with 1     nM GST:Grp1 fusion protein (Upstate) and 15 nM biotinylated PIP3     (#C-39B6/Echelon) in 50 mM Hepes, 50 mM NaCl, 50 mM EDTA and 0.1%     BSA, and left to stand overnight.

The fluorescence was detected the next morning in a Fusion™alpha instrument (Perkin Elmer).

Evaluation

The calculation of % inhibition values per substance concentration was done by means of the following formula from the raw data determined in the Fusion™alpha:

${\% \mspace{14mu} {kinase}\mspace{14mu} {inhibition}_{({sample})}} = {100 - \left( {100 \times \frac{{mean}_{({sample})} - {mean}_{({0\% \mspace{14mu} {control}})}}{{mean}_{({100\% \mspace{14mu} {control}})} - {mean}_{({0\% \mspace{14mu} {control}})}}} \right)}$

The controls were each determined 8 times, the substance samples each twice. 0% control contained neither any ATP nor any substrate; the 100% control contained no test substance. The IC₅₀ values were determined with GraphPadPrism.

The inventive compounds exhibited effective inhibition of Erk, PI3K, p38alpha and Jnk1+Jnk2 with IC₅₀ values up to 88 nM (see Table 1).

II.2) Cellular Assay: Testing for Anti-Proliferative Action (XTT Assay)

The principle of this test is based on the intracellular reduction of the tetrazolium dye XTT (sodium 3′-[1-(phenylaminocarbonyl)-3,4-tetrazolium]bis(4-methoxy-6-nitro)benzenenesulphonic acid, Sigma) to a formazan dye by mitochondrial dehydrogenases. The dye is formed only by metabolically active cells; its photometrically measurable intensity is a quantitative indicator for the presence of living cells. The reduction in the dye formation as a result of incubation of the cells with substances serves as a parameter for the anti-proliferative action.

Testing

The tumour cell lines (ATCC) were seeded in 96-well microtitre plates in a defined cell count (5000 cells/well for BxPC3 and Hct116; 10 000 cells/well for MDA MB468), and then incubated overnight in an incubator at 37° C., 5% CO₂ and 95% air humidity. The test substances were made up as stock solutions (10 mM) in DMSO. To determine the EC₅₀ values, the potential inhibitor substances were added to the cells in quater-logarithmically graded dilutions, so as to result in final concentrations of 0.28 μM-50 μM. The cell plates were then incubated for 45 h in an incubator at 37° C., 5% CO₂ and 95% air humidity.

For the detection reaction, the XTT substrate was admixed with PMS (N-methyldibenzopyrazine methylsulphate, Sigma) and added to the cells, so as to result in a final concentration of 325 μg of XTT/ml and 2.5 μg PMS/ml. The mixture was then incubated for 3 h at 37° C., 95% air humidity. Subsequently the formazan salt formed by cellular dehydrogenases was quantified at an absorption of 490 nm.

Evaluation

The evaluation of the % inhibition values was done by means of the following formula from the values for the optical densities measured in each case at 490 nm:

${\% \mspace{14mu} {inhibition}\mspace{14mu} {of}\mspace{14mu} {cell}\mspace{14mu} {proliferation}_{({sample})}} = {100 - \left( {100 \times \frac{{mean}_{({sample})} - {mean}_{({0\% \mspace{14mu} {control}})}}{{mean}_{({100\% \mspace{14mu} {control}})} - {mean}_{({0\% \mspace{14mu} {control}})}}} \right)}$

The controls were determined 8 times each, the substance samples twice each. 0% control contained no cells; the 100% control contained no test substance. The EC₅₀ values were determined with GraphPadPrism.

The inventive compounds exhibited effective inhibition of cell proliferation in some cases with EC₅₀ values up to 2.2 μM (see Table 2).

II.3) Cellular Assay: Testing on Substrate Inhibition (Western Blotting)

This method enables a statement of whether the kinase modulator investigated achieves the desired effect in a cellular context too, i.e., in this case, a substrate protein downstream of the target kinase is examined for its phosphorylation status. To this end, the cells incubated with substance are lysed and the overall protein is separated on a reducing polyacrylamide gel. Subsequently, the proteins are transferred by means of Western blotting to a PVDF membrane and the substrate bands sought are made visible with specific antibodies and a suitable detection method. The substrate proteins downstream of the target kinases are detected simultaneously with an anti-phospho antibody which is specific in each case and simultaneously a total antibody which recognizes the substrate total protein. The duplex technology of the ODYSSEY imager (LiCOR) enables this simultaneous measurement. The intensity of the total substrate bands is employed to normalize and quantify the phosphorylation inhibition or activation.

Testing

Suitable tumour cell lines (e.g. BxPC3, Hct116 or MDA MB468) were seeded into 6-well microtitre plates in a defined cell count (e.g. 350 000 cells/well for BxPC3 and Hct116) in the particular standard complete media and then incubated overnight in an incubator at 37° C., 5% CO₂ and 95% air humidity. The cells were then incubated further for a further 24 h under reduced-serum conditions, i.e. in the particular medium except at only 0.25% serum. The test substances were made up as stock solutions (10 mM) in DMSO and incubated with the cells at final concentrations of 5, 15.8 and 50 μM for 5 h. This was followed by cell lysis in 25 mM Tris, 150 mM NaCl, 10 mM sodium pyrophosphate, 2 mM EGTA, 25 mM beta-glycerophosphate, 25 mM NaF, 10% glycerol, 0.75% NP-40, 100 μM NaVO₄ buffer. After protein quantification by means of BCA (bicinchonic acid protein assay kit, Sigma) assay, amounts of protein of about 20 μg per track were separated on a Lammli polyacrylamide gel and then transferred onto a PVDF membrane (Millipore) by means of semi-dry Western blotting at 0.8 mA/cm² for 1 h. This was followed by prehybridization of the membrane fort hour in I-block reagent (Applied Biosystems) and overnight incubation with the specific antibodies. To deter-mine the Erk and PI3K inhibition, the next substrates Rsk1 downstream were detected with the total antibody (Rsk #sc-231g C-21, Santa Cruz) and the phospho antibody (Phospho-p90RSK (S380) #9341, NEB Cell Signalling) and Akt with the total antibody (Akt1 #sc-1618 C-20, Santa Cruz) and the phospho antibody (Phospho-Akt (Ser 473) #9271, NEB Cell Signaling). After the membrane had been washed, the secondary antibodies were incubated with anti-rabbit IR Dye 800 (#611-732-127, Rockland) for the phospho antibody and anti-goat Alexa Fluor 680 (#A-21081, Molecular samples) for the total protein antibody. After incubation for 30 min at room temperature in the dark, the hybridization of the detection antibody was detected on the membrane by scanning in an ODYSSEY imager (LiCOR).

Evaluation

At concentrations of 5-50 μM, the inventive compounds exhibited dual inhibition of Erk (MAPK1/2) and of PI3K (Table 3), which is indicated by inhibition of the band intensity of the two corresponding phospho-substrate proteins Rsk1 and Akt.
